Review:
I was really nervous about trying this week’s tea for a couple reasons. First, the last fruit tea I tried (Cherry Green) was absolutely terrible, and second, I love raspberries. When I was growing up my parents owned a raspberry stand and ever since they have been one of my favorite fruits, and I was really excited about finding a good raspberry tea. Luckily, Adagio nailed this one. The tea is both sweet and a little tart, just like its namesake fruit. The fruity flavors blend well with the mellow green they used as the base. I found it interesting that they also included the raspberry leaves in the tea. I’m not sure why they did that (If anyone at adagio reads this feel free to fill me in), but it seems to have worked. A solid tea that nailed my personal tastes, try some!
My Rating: 4 / 5
